I am so proud to offer this first of its kind, Essential Vegan Desserts Course with the renowned Rouxbe Online Cooking School. You may alreay know the school, which is home to chef Chad Sarno’s Plant-Based Professional Certification Course, or the Culinary RX and Forks Over Knives. If not, have a look and find the best ever platform for learning. For years, I’ve wanted to find a way to offer my popular Vegan Baking Boot Camp Intensive in a way that would be more in depth, more affordable, and more easily accessed, per the regular requests I’ve received. I researched the online offerings and when I found Rouxbe, I knew I had the best home for such a course. The team at Rouxbe– chefs Chad, Ken, and Eric – and I have collaborated to create a course that I am truly proud to offer. The inagural class launches Nov 10th, but the beauty of an online class is that you start when you are ready. The 3 month course is self paced, and right now you’ll find a special early bird pricing of $599.00. (The full price is $799.00, still a fraction of the cost of the Boot Camp in NYC.) Check out the syllabus, FAQ and some of the recipes and grab your seat now! I’d love to see you in class.
